LT cats and emmisions
Hi,
So I want stainless LT headers, and I already have a GMMG muffler.
I will proberly get a custom y pipe made up, (cheaper than getting one shipped) but I need to keep it road legal.
I live in the UK, and I believe our emmissions are 0.27 / 0.3 C02.
1. If I keep cats, what would my perfomance gains/loss proberly be?
2. If I add hi flow cats what would my emmisions proberly be?
3. And am I right in thinking hi flow cats are nearly as good (performance wise) as no cats?
I also herd I could have a y pipe made with removeable cats (for race days etc).
4. Does anyone know if this would cause problems with leaks or ground clearance issues??
Thanks for the help....

it's PROBABLY, not proberly
yes high flow cats will be better than normal cats performance wise. I don't know about worse emissions.
Removable cats, are definitely do-able. Don't worry about leaks. Just get good gaskets if you do a 3-bolt flange or something. Depending on the cats, you'll have slightly reduced ground clearance.

I think you PROBABLY just pointed out my dyslexic mistake, it's a shame there's no spell check on this forum. (Why is dyslexicia so hard to spell !?!).
Yes I think so.
No plans to get a big cam (I did plan to keep the car stock though!!).
That sounds like how I might have to do this.
Thanks you for your replys.
I guess they actually do a tailpipe test?
